I can't tell, but they may be stopping making freehubs.
But, I'll add something that resembles freewheels. Ok, so not many tight gearing corncobs, but plenty of people who want to get rid of them.
I might add that I'm happy to learn that MKS dust caps will fit Campy pedals.

The new crop of leather saddles. My favorites are Gilles Berthoud and Rivet, and there are lots of others.
Square taper bottom brackets in a range of lengths.
28.6mm clamp-on FD's. Those are still available, right?
Just about anything made by Nitto.
And as previously mentioned, a big "thank you!" to Velo Orange and others who continue to support our C&V habits.

How about Faygo Red Pop? I loved this stuff as a kid, but it was normally sold out about half the time. ☹ I hadn't seen it in many years, but recently found 2 1/2 liter bottles, at the dollar store. 😋😎

I did find that a brake strap band, bent to a smooth curve, made a dandy shim for an old 31.8 exage front derailleur I had. shifts pretty good on the front triple with brifters. Works well enough that I have no desire to buy a new one yet.

All this is great! A lot of things I though of, some I didn't, some I didn't even know about!
28.6mm FDs are super-duper plentiful on eb; unused and otherwise... maybe stock up if feeling the need (I'm set for life now...)

Since it seems everything is moving to 11 speed, I was glad that Shimano still has the Tiagra 10 speed group. I never thought I'd have such a hard time finding a new 10 speed group.

The inspiration for Brooks saddles, MKS pedals, freewheels, Kool Stop brake shoes and so many more cycling-related parts. (If #45 can tweet completely made-up stuff, I can proclaim the plausible

Oh, and square taper BB also popped into my head first, but I wasn't first to mention it, so I'll second it (or third it as the case may be).

I bash SRAM's component offering all the time....but I'm glad for whatever hurdles that prevented them from closing their chain plant in Europe. Now they moved the tooling from France to Portugal, but as somebody mentioned earlier in the thread, you can still buy a 8XX series chain which is REALLY close to an original Sedisport....
